The Caribbean waters around Margarita Island are perfect for sail boats. They are below the hurricane belt and are a perfect area to spend some time here. They are a duty free port and you can re-stock your supplies at costs much lower than other islands of the Caribbean. One of the major stores that cater specifically to the yachting crowd is Sigo La Proveeduria located on the outskirts of Porlamar.

Starlight 35 yacht- The designer of the Starlight 35 Mk2 , Stephen Jones, has achieved an enviable reputation for his exceptional vision in hull form which has produced many of the most successful racing yachts in the UK in recent years. In the Starlight 35 Mk2, Stephen has provided a fast hull and easily manageable sail plan, combined with an accommodation layout which combines space and comfort with safety and seaworthiness. She was chosen by the judges in the Yachting World Rally as the best yacht in her size range. The Starlight 35 Mk2 enjoys exceptional qualities of thermal and acoustic insulation achieved by a building process which incorporates an inner and outer moulding, enclosing a foam core. This provides a hull which is quieter, warmer and has a noticeable lack of condensation compared with conventionally constructed yachts. The ambience achieved in the cabins from this construction method is therefore exceptional.

Bowman 42 yacht- Builds on the fine heritage of the popular Bowman 40 and incorporates a host of refinements including a deeper draft with new skeg and rudder profile, which has provided enhanced sailing performance. Her paces were shown in the ARC Transatlantic Rally where the Bowman 42 "Eternity of Hamble" won her class and finished 5th overall, one of the four yachts from the Rival Bowman yard taking part in the event. The Bowman 42 combines the skills of top cruising yacht designer; Chuck Paine, with the exceptional building expertise of the Rival Bowman craftsmen. The interior layout of the Bowman 42 can be tailored to an owner's specification, providing the yacht with an individual custom-built character. Whatever the chosen layout, the accommodation will share the style and craftsmanship which has earned Bowman an enviable reputation for quality.

Yacht "No Komis" Epirb Activated - Indonesia

Thu, 6 Dec 2007 10:43:49 +0200
We just got this message from a friend's wife. Her husband's EPIRB (Yacht NO KOMIS) went off and he dropped off the nets and e-mail. The local SAR does not seem to have many assets/capabilities. We don't know Indonesia very well, anyone have any suggestions as to any other actions she should take?



"Great to hear from you and get the photos. Life is stressful for me right now. Terry and his yacht "No Komis" are the subject of a search by Search & Rescue, Indonesia. The EPIRB went off last Saturday afternoon, transmitted for about 25 hours and stopped. There has been no Sailmail since Nov 28. Terry was leaving the next day for a brief overnight passage of 100nm. This could be a series of events, none serious, but then again, who knows. Any one thing is no problem, but putting them together does make you wonder what has happened. ......"
